finding out the rear end gear ratio
well my speedo doesnt work and i dont have a tag on my pumpkin. so what i did was mark the DS with chalk and the wheel with chalk. i turned the DS about 3 1/4 times to one turn of the wheel. 3.23's? the rear is out of a 1988 GTA. wtf, i was thinking this rear had 2.77's cuz the car is so damn slow!
carbed L98, T-5 with this rear and i can't even chirp second if i tried!!!

yeah i thought about that too. but i really want 3.73's, and those are harder to find. plus, i hate drum brakes, and i believe that the 3.73's mainly came with them. ALSO the rear i have now has posi. i must have posi!
